Aaron Ross shows sales groups reliable techniques they can implement to meet or surpass monthly goals, so that they can live their life outside work stress-free and to the fullest. “Why should you have to stress over a number?” he asks rhetorically.

Once young companies exhaust their organic customer base – most often, employees’ and investors’ friends and families – they must make the arduous “walk over hot coals” and attract customers who’ve never heard of them in order to continue growing. The tactics they use are mostly experimental, and for that very reason they experience more failures than successes. “What you don’t have is some sort of repeatable system to drive growth,” Aaron states. “By getting that system in place you get to the green side on the right where you can just scale.”
